Chapter 333: There Was an Accident (Change to Third Person)

After Zhang Guangming took office as the acting governor of N Province, the first major policy move was to renovate the national highway line from Daning City to Baozhou City, widen and strengthen the road surface, and build it in accordance with the standards of first-class highways.

The national highway from Daning City to Baozhou City is 237 kilometers long, connecting four district-level administrative regions, including Daning City, Hongyang City, Jiu'an District and Baozhou City. It covers the three cities with the highest total industrial and agricultural output value in the province. The Jiu'an area, a few years ago, was one of the main competitors in Baozhou's application for land reform, although it failed to win in the end, it has also made great progress in economic construction, and its economic aggregate ranks seventh in the province, and it is also standing in the upper middle position.

Zhang Guangming's vision is very clear, that is, he hopes that through this new first-class highway, the connection between the three cities and one place will be closer, the flow of materials will be smoother, and the "economies of scale" will be produced, and the three strongest economic engines in the province will be bundled together to create an "urban agglomeration" and create a super "engine" to drive the rapid economic growth of the province.

This matter was fully supported by Liao Qingkai, secretary of the provincial party committee, and after the governor's office meeting passed it unanimously at the standing committee of the provincial party committee, Liao Qingkai even put forward the slogan of "raising the strength of the whole province and repairing this road to prosperity".

However, although the wish is good, it has encountered great problems in terms of funding.

Widening and renovating more than 200 kilometers of the first level. The total budget for highways has reached more than 200 million yuan, and it is obviously unrealistic to allocate funds exclusively from the provincial treasury. It's not that the "power of the whole province" can't make up these 200 million, but it is really such a large inland agricultural province, and there are too many places that need money.

The Provincial Department of Finance will be able to squeeze out five or six at most. The first and second leaders of other cities had big opinions, and they didn't dare to find Zhang Guangming and Liao Qingkai to complain, but they didn't have a trip to the Finance Department, and they started a "protracted war" with the department, making the ancient director of the Provincial Finance Department as big as two heads, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to go to work in the hall.

Since Liu Jincai is in front of Governor Zhang. When the matter came, it was natural that he could not retreat and undertook the funds required for the road section in Baozhou City. This highway is about 40 kilometers in the territory of Baozhou City, and the initial budget needs to invest 400 million yuan. This is somewhat different from Liu Jincai's original budget. After all, that time in the governor's office, I just took a rough turn in my head, and it was impossible to have too much time to calculate the investment. Liu Jincai originally estimated that he would need to invest about 300 million yuan, and when the real budget results came out, it would be 100 million more than he expected, which was also a headache.

It is true that Baozhou City's economy has developed at a rapid pace in recent years, but it costs money. There are also a lot of places. Liu Jincai has extremely strict control over non-essential budget expenditures in various localities, and insists on financial examination and approval. For example, Xiangyang County wanted to build an additional office building, but the county magistrate Chen Liyou was criticized and went to the city to review this situation more than once or twice.

In November last year, the Baozhou municipal government changed his family, and Shi Rongxuan took office. Mayor, Liu Jincai handed over the authority of "a pen for financial approval" to Shi Rongxuan, but he still often asks about large budget expenditures. Shi Rongxuan also knew Secretary Liu's habit of "being diligent and thrifty", and he did not dare to specialize in major issues, so he had to ask Secretary Liu for instructions as usual, and the use of funds was still well controlled.

Rao is so, and the investment of 400 million yuan is also very overwhelming.

According to the renovation plan, the four cities started construction at the same time. The road will be completely renovated in a year and a half. Because the road cannot be closed, half of the road surface must be set aside to remain open to traffic. The time is very tight, and in order to complete the project on time, there must be no arrears in funds, and it must be guaranteed to be in place on time.

"No matter how difficult the situation is. It's difficult, these 400 million must be squeezed out. It is necessary to grasp this matter as the most important task in economic construction next year! ”

Liu Jincai made a clear statement at the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and set the tone. Everyone knows that there is no room for bargaining in this matter, Liu Jincai's character is like this, and there is absolutely no excuse to delay and shirk everything that is decided. This was the case when he was the mayor, and now that he is a secretary, no one dares to break the "rules".

The situation in Baozhou City is difficult, and other prefectures and cities are even more difficult.

Zhang Guangming personally went to the capital to find the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Communications to "fight a lawsuit" and grind his teeth, and the head of a province stood and waited in the corridor of the yamen of the ministry and commission more than ten minutes in advance in order to wait for a small director of the ministry and commission.

This is simply unbelievable to people who don't understand the inside story. Think about it, what kind of identity is Zhang Guangming? Governor! When you get to the capital, you have to pretend to be a grandson!

Governor Zhang's "attitude" is so correct, and the income is only 500 million yuan from the special fund.

"Governor Zhang, I'm sorry, there are too many monks and too little porridge, and there are too many places to ask for money!"

These are the words of a director of the Ministry of Finance to Zhang Guangming.

With these 500 million yuan, plus the 600 million yuan raised by the Provincial Department of Finance plus the 400 million yuan promised by Baozhou City, there is still a funding gap of about 900 million yuan, which needs to be raised by Daning City, Hongyang City and Jiu'an District.

This highway runs through Hongyang City and Jiu'an District, and the mileage is the longest in the jurisdiction of these two areas, and according to this distribution, Hongyang City also needs to raise 400 million yuan, and Jiu'an District 300 million. For a time, the chief executives of the two places were anxious and complained.

Relatively speaking, Baozhou City's own funds are relatively abundant, and as soon as the construction drawings are obtained, the team will be organized to start construction.

Regarding the construction unit, there is also a lot of fighting, and the Provincial Department of Transportation does not pay any money, but wants to take the construction right into its own hands. It is also a good word, and the name is justified, after all, the road construction is under the management of the Provincial Department of Transportation.

But the money is taken out of someone's pocket, but the meat belongs to your traffic department to eat, is it reasonable?

To say that Xu Weiguo, director of the Department of Transportation, is also a bull, he is a close associate of Executive Vice Governor Ye Chunlin, and he walked up from Hongyang City step by step with Lao Ye. Ye Chunlin is regarded as Liao Qingkai's old subordinate, and he is also a cadre of the local faction, who has been operating in the officialdom of N Province for many years and has a deep foundation. Zhang Guangming first arrived, and maintained three points of courtesy to the senior deputy.

Without this background, Xu Weiguo didn't dare to stretch out his hand indiscriminately and go to someone's pot to fish for big pieces of meat.

Regarding the attitude of the Department of Transportation, Shi Rongxuan was not sure. To say that in his heart, it is 120,000 reluctant to intervene in the Department of Communications, and the other three prefectures and cities, which are also mixed with the appropriations of the province and the central government. Baozhou City is the only city that is 100% self-funded, and has nothing to do with the Department of Transportation. It can even be said that without this expansion plan in your province, we can also go to this project ourselves. Why should we leave our business to your traffic department?

Shi Rongxuan couldn't get his idea, it was just to hinder Ye Chunlin's face.

Zhou Peiming retired from the second line, speaking of which, Shi Rongxuan's backer in the province is Yan Yucheng, but he is not Yan Liu's descendant, so he needs Liu Jincai's support when he encounters such a major event.

According to past experience, Yan Yucheng unconditionally supported all the decisions made by Liu Jincai.

It must still be the same.

Liu Jincai disagreed with this method of the Department of Transportation, and said to Shi Rongxuan: "Don't worry about him, since the first phase of the funds has been in place, immediately organize the construction team and start construction immediately." Our 40-kilometer section must be completed and opened to traffic within a year! ”

With these words, Shi Rongxuan was relieved, and immediately asked: "Secretary, which unit will carry out the construction?" ”

Liu Jincai glanced at him and said lightly: "You are the mayor, and this is up to you." But it must be a qualified state-run unit! ”

This is the concept of the number one leader in control of the overall situation. Since there is a dispute on this matter, it is necessary to be cautious and not to be negligent and give authority to others.

Shi Rongxuan understood.

There is only one state-owned unit in Baozhou City with road and bridge construction qualifications, that is, Baozhou Second Construction Engineering Company, also known as Baozhou Road and Bridge Construction Engineering Company.

For such a large project involving hundreds of millions of yuan of investment, Shi Rongxuan is still very cautious. It can even be said that in the history of Baozhou City, there has never been a project with such a huge amount of investment.

Because of this, Shi Rongxuan did not directly hand over the project to the second construction company, but adopted the method of public bidding. Shi Rongxuan didn't dare to specialize in this bidding plan, so he took the plan and went to the secretary's office to ask for instructions.

Secretary Liu didn't accept the plan at all, frowned slightly, and said: "Comrade Rong Xuan, you are now the mayor, you are in charge of these things, just talk to me roughly." ”

Shi Rongxuan was taken aback, and secretly wondered what Secretary Liu meant by this. It seems that in the past, Secretary Liu's work style is personal. Why is such a big thing now, and it is actually "let go". Could it be that this person was also influenced by Yan Yucheng and became a shopkeeper?

However, Shi Rongxuan thought so in his heart, but his face did not show it at all, and said with a smile: "Secretary, I just took over, and I am not very familiar with the work of the government, so I need your guidance!" ”

Shi Rongxuan's words were very level, and he still spoke in the tone of his subordinates, gently giving a high hat, but indirectly pointed out that this matter was very important, and it was still necessary to check it by the first hand.

Liu Jincai was indeed influenced by Yan Yucheng and his son Liu Jun, and gradually entered the state of secretary of the municipal party committee and began to delegate power. Moreover, Shi Rongxuan officially became the mayor, and he also needs to cultivate his prestige. If the secretary of the party still has the final say in everything, he will inevitably incur the complaints of the comrades.

Hearing Shi Rongxuan say this, Liu Jincai smiled slightly: "Everything should still be done according to the procedure." ”

Shi Rongxuan was stunned for a moment, then understood, so he stopped mentioning this stubble, casually talked a few words, and left. The next day, the bidding plan was sent to Secretary Liu's desk by the secretary with Shi Rongxuan's personal instructions.

Liu Jincai carefully read the plan this time, basically in accordance with the rules and procedures, so he picked up the pen and commented: Agree, please follow Comrade Shi Rongxuan's opinion.

More or less, there are still a few traces of Yan Yucheng.

However, in this way, the tone of sincere unity between the top leaders of the municipal party committee and the municipal government has been created.

Shi Rongxuan read this instruction and was relieved, so he immediately began to implement the bidding plan. After three rounds of bidding, Baozhou No. 2 Construction Company finally obtained the construction right for the expansion and reinforcement of the 40-kilometer section, and officially started construction in early December.

In this way, it is tantamount to setting an example for Daning City, Hongyang City and Jiu'an area, and everyone has issued bidding plans and openly bidding for the whole country, completely leaving the Provincial Department of Transportation aside.

Although it is true that most of the funds should be provided by the province, after all, some of the funds are raised by the localities. The leaders of these cities are also very shrewd, first start the construction, and then say, when the follow-up funds are not continued, will your province see the construction of the highway stopped? This is Governor Zhang's first big move after taking office, and he will definitely not be allowed to give up halfway. At that time, no matter how much you have opinions in the province, you can only pinch your nose and invest the funds in.

When Zhang Guangming first arrived, he basically did not have his own descendants, and as far as he was concerned, there was no entanglement of interests between whether the project would be built by the province or by each locality. As long as it is completed on time, it will be one of his great achievements. It should be said that in his heart, he is still more inclined to carry out the construction by himself.

The reason is very simple, Executive Vice Governor Ye Chunlin is a sitting tiger, deeply rooted in the officialdom of N Province, and has always followed Liao Qingkai closely, Zhang Guangmingya does not want him to interfere too deeply in this matter. Now the four prefectures and cities are doing their own thing, no matter what, it is a blow to Ye Chunlin's prestige, which is exactly what Zhang Guangming is happy to see.

With a strong provincial party secretary on top and an equally strong deputy on his head, this provincial governor is not so easy to be. Therefore, Zhang Guangming made a final decision at the governor's office meeting, approved the overall plan for the construction of each locality, and only asked the Department of Communications to follow up and supervise the progress and quality of the project in conjunction with the Provincial Quality Supervision Bureau.

Xu Weiguo was so angry that his nose was crooked, such a big project, as the Provincial Department of Transportation, was stunned that he didn't get a sip of soup, and he was really holding his breath. At the beginning of the disaster, it was Liu Jincai and Shi Rongxuan who made a "bad start", which made people learn from each other. It's just that Liu Jincai is now in a good reputation, and he is one with Yan Yu, not to mention that he Xu Weiguo is a director of the Department of Transportation, even Ye Chunlin is also afraid of three points, Xu Weiguo has no choice but to swallow his anger and wait for him.

Not long after Liu Jincai left Baozhou City to study at the Central Party School, the construction of the Baozhou No. 2 Construction Company went wrong, and a collapse accident occurred while excavating a tunnel, resulting in a major accident in which one person was killed and many others were injured.

PS: It's officially changed to the third person, so give me some encouragement! Thanks!.
